I wanted to get an early start to see other cyclists along the route. I rode the usual Saturday route, &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden&#8221; on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. At the start I needed 20 miles to reach 200+ for the week and I biked 33.45 miles so I accomplished that. I saw other cyclists and some of them are in the video. There was a group of 6 to 8 passing me near the end of the ride but my GoPro camera froze so I didn&#8217;t record them. They may have been from Trek Bicycle Kingwood or Kingwood Bicycles. A minute or so later 2 more passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biking this route on Saturdays I used it 13 times in 2022, 12 of the rides have been on my Cervelo. I change the order of some roads to get to FM 1960 earlier than the other route and then cross Lake Houston to improve my chances of seeing other cyclists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"508\" data-attachment-id=\"59634\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-9-2022-ytd-bike-rides-atascocita-huffman-walden-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?fit=1818%2C770&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1818,770\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"7-9-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita &amp;#8211; Huffman &amp;#8211; Walden Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-9-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita &amp;#8211; Huffman &amp;#8211; Walden Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-9-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita &amp;#8211; Huffman &amp;#8211; Walden Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?fit=600%2C254&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?fit=800%2C339&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?resize=1200%2C508&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-9-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita - Huffman - Walden Route\" class=\"wp-image-59634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?w=1818&amp;ssl=1 1818w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?resize=600%2C254&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?resize=800%2C339&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?resize=640%2C271&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden-Route.png?resize=1536%2C651&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-9-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the early start the weather hadn&#8217;t warmed too much. I thought the wind would stay in the single digits but riding west back over Lake Houston it felt strong and I was using the easier 35&#215;15 gearing. When I got home I saw there were 21 mph gusts and I changed my mind on how my legs were handling the wind. Riding east enjoyed a tailwind most of the time. I used the 35&#215;13 gearing most of the ride according to AXS.SRAM.com at 1:15:11 compared to 56:45 for the 35&#215;15. Below is the cadence data. Weather at the start and finish: start 81 (humidity 90%, dew point 77), partly cloudy, wind SW 4 mph; finish 88 (humidity 67%, dew point 76), mostly cloudy, wind W 12 mph gusts 21 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"476\" data-attachment-id=\"59632\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-9-2022-strava-bike-ride-cadence-data\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?fit=1486%2C589&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1486,589\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"7-9-2022 Strava Bike Ride Cadence Data\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-9-2022 Strava Bike Ride Cadence Data&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-9-2022 Strava Bike Ride Cadence Data&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?fit=600%2C238&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?fit=800%2C317&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?resize=1200%2C476&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-9-2022 Strava Bike Ride Cadence Data\" class=\"wp-image-59632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?w=1486&amp;ssl=1 1486w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?resize=600%2C238&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?resize=800%2C317&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Bike-Ride-Cadence-Data.png?resize=640%2C254&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-9-2022 Strava Bike Ride Cadence Data<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7441031521#\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1043\" height=\"920\" data-attachment-id=\"59633\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-9-2022-strava-ride-data-suimmary-atascocita-huffman-walden\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-9-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Suimmary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?fit=1043%2C920&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1043,920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"7-9-2022 Strava Ride Data Suimmary Atascocita &amp;#8211;
